AtTnouon numerous arrests have
been made in Ireland, the Flurnix I'ark
Assassins are still at large.
Charles I. Bixkalew, it is true,
defeated for Governor in 1S72, but
for all that the Democracy may rest as
sured they will not Uuckalew-slng can

If they should nominate him this year.
Tite four Judges of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia held
a consultation on Saturday last, to dis- j
cuss the arguments of counsel in the ap
plication of Gniteau for a new trial. .
The consultation lasted during four
tours and there seems to be no doubt
that the decision, which will be announ- j
a a 1 f,-irr1iTT novf W ill
ced by the court on Monday next, will
affirm the sentence of the lower court
and overrule the exceptions. This will
dispose of Guiteau's last chance and he
will be executed on the thirtieth day of
next month.
A noble tribute was paid on last
Sunday night, in the hall of the Mechan
ics Building, Boston, to the labors'of a
half ceutury of the Boston Sisters of
Charity, the occasion behi the fiftieth
anniversary of the arrival of the first
members of the order in that city. The
demonstiation was attended by seven
thousand persors, and on the platform
were Governor Tv.g, Mayor Green,
Bishop Ilealy, of Portland, Maine, John
Boyle O'Reilly, and many other promi
nent citizens and clergymen. Governor
Long in his speech paidan eloquent
and feeling tribute to the fifty years un
selfish labors of tho devoted Sisters in
the cause of suffering humanity.
Beaver'? nomination for Governor
by Boss Cameron's convention hasn't
produced much of an earthquake thro'
out the State, but, on the contrary, has
fallen as flatly on the people as a stale
and worn out Joke. How could it be
otherwise when every reading man in
the Commonwealth knew that ever
since Beaver's defeat last winter for
United States Senator by the Independ
ent Republicans in the Legislature,
Cameron and his understrappers have
been determined that "sink or swim,
live or die, survive or perish," Beaver
must and should be nominated. And
yet Gen. Beaver claims that he is no
man's man, but Is the people's choice,
although he admitted to a reporter in
Philadelphia two weeks before his nom
ination that he had gone to Cameron in
Washington after Congress met, and
asked hlru whether he would oppose his
nomination. James A. Beaver will not
be the next Governor of Pennsylvania.
That Is a prediction which is much more
than a prediction.
The Independent Republican S'ate
Convention will meet at Philadelphia on
Wednesday next and 3 full State ticket
will ba nominated. Beaver's nomina
tion has fallen upon the Independents 1
with the same effect that is produced j
npon a bull in tho Spanish arena when
a red flag is shaken in his face. Don
Cameron's colleague in the Senate, Jno.
I. Mitchell, has smeared his handsome
face all over with war paint and make3
almost daily declarations, both orally
and in writing, to the Independents
throughout the State, to "organize ! or
ganize I work and fight to the end."
Mitchell has been elected a delegate to
the convention from the Tioga Senator
ial district. TLe convention will most
likely endorse the nominations of Rawle
for Supreme Court Judge and Thomas
M. Marshall for Congressman-at-large,
made by the "Republican convention at
Harrlsburg last week. Tho campaign
promises to be an usually exciting one
owing to the division of the Republican
party into two warring factions, and if
Don Cameron, who invented Beaver,
comes out of the contest with any polit
ical vitality In h:m, we will be very
greatly mistaken.
From some recent incidents In the
7l" LL'inf'3' oite, trie leader or
the Indeindent Republicans last year, j
it is a acoatatjie question whether, in a !
political sensrj. there is anvthing left of
that once noisy opponent of Cameronism,
and, if so, how much and where to locate
it. It is net denied that up to late at
night of the day previous to tho meeting
of the Cameron convention last week,
Cameron and Quay had Wolfe "slated"
as it is called, for Congressman-at-
large. The Republican Tapers nearly
. 11
all admitted the arrangement and ap-i
proved it, because Cameron said he
wanted it done. One of the few Came
ron organs that openly denounced it was
the Johnstown Tribune. The opposition
among the delegates to Wolfe as Con-
gressman-at-large became so violent that ,
Cameron at hist changed his slate and ;
put wolfe down for Lieutenant Govern-
vi, kui mis seiieme niso iaueu, uecausc
Davies claimed that Cameron had pro-!
mi3el the pl:ce to him, and he and hia
friends threatened yenear.ce if Wolfe
was substituted in his stead. "While
"Wolfc'9 riatrio was lieircr thus used at
Hsrrlsburtr an.l M nil th st,to
7 - o--------
ins me utioro tne convention met,
ell of which he knew through the tele
graph, he was as quiet as a mouse and
made no public denial. Two days af
ter the convention adjourned, however,
lie telegraphed to a friend in Philadel
phia that he "never sought, demanded,
bargained for, nor consented to accept
any place on the republican State tick-
et." In addition to this, he denounces
the ticket nominated at Ilarrisburg as
piece of insolence and an insult to
th6 Independent element of the State."
Whtf is a man to do or what is he to
belies in a case so dark and pecu'-ar as
.... ,tIlu Iut-U''ar
this of Wolfe? There are just two wavs
of escate, one cf which is to do as Grant

to conclude with old Simon Cameron, j
who on a certain interesting occasion 1

The Philadelphia Jie'ord very proper
ly takes its stand in favor of the election
of a "first-rate" man as the Democratic
candidate for Governor, and with that
end in view strongly advocates the nom
ination of Hon. Charles II. Buckalew.
We do not suppose there is an intelli
gent Democrat in the State who will
not heartily endorse everything that
the Rewl says in regard to Mr. BucK
alew's peculiar qualifications for the
place, his eminent abilities, his great ex
perience in public affairs, both State
and National, and his stainless charac
ter for integrity. But the Iitcord, in its
commendable enthusiasm in tavor of
Mr. Buckalew's nomination, has given
utterance, inadvertantly, no doubt, to a
remark from which we most emphati
cally dissent. In a brief article on the
subject on Friday last the Iiccm-d said :
"The people are tired of second-raters.
There has been a long, persistent, dead
level of mediocrity in the choice of can
didates for both parties. The time has
first rater." We will not
faow true tbig ha3 bePn RS
1 ...
to the candidates of the Republican par
ty, but it is manifestly not true in its ap
plication to the nominees of the Demo
cratic party. Commencing with 18G0,
twenty-two years ago, and ending with
1878, the candidates ot the Democratic
party for Governor have been as follows:
Henry D. Foster, Geo. "W. Woodward,
Hiester Clymer, Asa Packer, Charles R.
Buckalew, Cyrus L. Pershing and An
drew II. Dill. The Record will not
surely claim that any one of these seven
men in intellectual capacity ranked as a
"second rater," or stood on the "dead
level of mediocrity." Either one of
them was fit to be the Democratic can
didate for the Presidency, and at least
fmr of them were frequently named in
that connection. No State in the Union
has presented a stronger array of able
men for Governor than the Democratic
party in Pennsylvania to its infinite
credit has uniformly done since 1800.
But even Mr. Buckalew himself, with
all his conceded ability and exceptional
fitness, went down in the campaign of
1?72, as Pershing did in that of lS7o,
before the great military name and
fame of John F. Hartranft, just as Cly
mer in 1SGG and Packer in 1SG9 had done
in the presence of the illustrious military
career of John W. Geary, who, as well
as Hartranft, never rose in civil affairs
above the "dead level of mediocrity."
If Pennsylvania has not had a Demo
cratic Governor since William F. Pack
er was elected to that office in 18.77, it
isjclearly not because Democratic State
conventions did not offer to the people
for their suffrages at each subsequent
election a candidate whoso capacity was
admittted and whose honesty was be
yond cavil or dispute. Each of the
seven candidates we have named was a
"first-rater" the very kiud of a man
the Jiccord now wants nominated and
all of them were defeated. That, how
ever, was neither their fault nor the fault
of tho conventions by which they were
nominated. We have no doubt the
coming State convention will do its full
duty in the premises, and that it will
repeat the action of all preceding con
ventions since 100 by nominating a
"first-rate" candidate, Having thus
performed its duty it will rest with
the electors of the State to discharge
theirs.
Three weeks ago, when a change
in the Lord Lieutenancy and Chief Sec
retaryship of Ireland took place, which
w;ts immediately followed by Mr, Glad
stone formally withdrawing the Irish
I Coercion bill, the strongest hopes were
excited that tieace and order were atout
to be inaugurated in that distracted
county. The promise, however, seems
to have been made to the ear, only
to be broken to the hope, for on Thurs
day of last week, five days after the as
sassination in Phoenix Park of Lord
Cavendish and Mr. Burke, a new Coer
cion bill was introduced into Parliament
compared with which the foimer bill
was mercy and forgiveness. The iron
clad provisions of this new dispensation
for Ireland will be found in an article
published elsewhere in our paper. What
will be the outcome of this sudden
change from conciliation to a measure
which literally sweeps away every guar
antee of personal liberty from the peo
ple of Ireland ? The question is easily
answered, and the only hope that the
Wurat fears of the evil results of this
harsh in,atf,ire ,mv not be realized
springs from the well known sympathy
of Earl Spencer, the new Lord Lieuten
ant, with the oppressed Irish, and his
undoubted friendship towards that
country. In an article on this swift
change of policy the New Yord World
l says :
i "The bin speaks for itsolf. It does r.ot
read in the least like a measure submitter! to
i Ule Va,rI,a.l,,ent of a cot. utumal country.
It might be a rescript of the Imperial rov-
eminent of Kussia in our own time. It might
be a "declaration Issued by Oliver Crom
well as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland two hun
dred and forty years ago. It does indeed
clothe the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland with
all the powers possessed by Cromwell, and
encourages him to make as ruthless use of
these powers as Cromwell mad". It was only
a few weeks ago that .Mr. Gladstone was
dallyin with tho idea of 'Home Rule,' and
now his Home Secretary, whose province is
Kngland and Scotland alone, is prompted to
i as ttie Home Secretary himself confesses
almost unlimited authority' is given to the
Lord Lieutenant who is to represent the
Knglish power in Ireland I
'So swift and complete a political change
of base has not been see in our time. And
this remaikable change has been wrought by
' four miscreants who last week committed a
'. murder and who are to-day the directors of
the Irish policy of the
British. Empire I
"The coercion bill last year was a trival
j regulation compared with this, and the Co
1 ercion bill of last year was formally with
; drawn last week as no longer necessary,
i The Government has constructed for itself
i this dilemma : If thd present bill is unneces-
sary, it is evidently an outrage on every
; principle of constitutional government and a
I denial of every safeguard of personal liberty.
. If it is necessary, then the situation in Ire
i land is far worse than it was when the Coer
, cion bill of last year was introduced, and if
: the situation is worse, it is because it has
, been aggravated by the measures of the
very Government which now offers this

Regular Correspondence The Freemas.
Dear McPike The weather here
for the last two or three weeks has been
abominable ; so much so, indeed, as to
terribly interrupt the budding spring
festivities. The raw and rainy weather
has caused many of our fashionables to
keep indoors, in place of being out in
the streets. The subtle sympathy crea
ted by the cruel weather over the proud
spirits has had a most depressing influ
ence upon fashionable society. There
is, however, a happy attempt to put a
cheerful face on the matter in the way
of dancing schools. A Professoresa
from the Alleghenies, (somewhere in
the neighborhood of "Hart's Sleeping
Place,") is teaching our Philadelphia
belles the Cambria "Racket Dance,"
called hereaway the "Highland Fling,"
The Cambria professoress is teaching
our Philadelphia ladies to bounce and
spring and dance in reality the good old
fashioned way, instead of gliding to
stateiy measures without lifting their
feet from the floor. The Cambria rack
et, or the Highland quadrille, as it is
called, is going to be the dance of dances
in Philadelphia, There is a figure in
the dance in which the gentlemen lock
arms with the fair partners and dance
back to back. The ladies who have al
ready been taught to dance this new fig
ure declare it to be "too awfully jolly
for anything." The season of engage
ments has rolled around, and is being
auspiciously opened by announcements
that interest very large and fashionable
circles. Quite a number of delicate ac
knowledgements have already been
made. The number of people of wealth
and fashion that are making arrange
ments for the .Newport season is un
usually large, while the summer liegira
to Europe has begun in earnest,
shaking cr of tiik bosses.
Mr. Charles S. Wolfe may now be re
garded as an "unattached" Pennsylva
nia politician, His name was not men
tioned in the Republican convention,
nor did he receive that expected dose of
soothing syrup, a promise of tho Attor
ney Generalship under Beaver. Poor
Wolfe, instead of being placed on the
"bosses" ticket as a candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor, he was most contemp
tuously cast aside. From his recent ex
perience Mr. Wolfe can for the future,
in making speeches on "boss rule" and
"machine methods," give very, flippant
episodes. He will have less respect for
"boss power" than formerly. Though
kindly favored by "boss rule," he did
not find it powerful enough to gratify
his ambition to 1x5 placed on the Re
publican State ticket. It was a queer
turn when the failure of "boss rule"' un
horsed him. If Mr. Wolfe is to be be
lieved, however, and it is to bo hoped he
is, he was only in fun about wanting a
place on the "boss" ticket. Had he
been nominated by the bosses he would
"neither have accepted nor rejected the
nomination without first consulting the
Independents." The Philadelphia Rec
ord says that Wolfe's explanation of
that little piece of political work "re
calls the experience of the old lady who
tried to make ice-cream, but finding
that it wouldn't heat satisfactorily, she
accepted the situation wit h the compla
cent remark : 4 Well, I'll heat it for cus
tard.' " Senator Mitchell, has entire
confidence in Mr. Wolfe's fidelity to the
cause of the Independents, and if there
is any dependence to be placed in Mr.
Mitchell's war declarations, Cameronism
and the spoils system are going to have
a vigorous shaking up. Senator Mitchell
should now take Mr. Wolfe's place and
J let the Independents have the benefit of
his counsel and courage. Ever since
the death of Garfield, Mitchell finds his
recommendations to office treated witli
disdain and the most obnoxiuus appoint
ments made in spite of his earnest pro
test. Senator Mitchell is now in a io
sition in which he must fight for the ele
ment of the party which he represents
or retreat with discredit. He now has
it in his power to make an effective
warfare upon his colleagues, and judg
ing from the way he is firing off his war
bulletins it looks as if he was in earnest
about leading the revolt,
TrtE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE INVES
TIGATION. The Committee investigating the Ag
ricultural College this year seems to be
finding out some new things. The com
mittee of 187J only found out that there
were eleven professor employed to teach
fortv-six pupils. The preseut commit
tee has discovered many things, but has
been unable to find one graduate that
the College his turned out. The com
mittee, however, has found out as much
as it wants to know about the college
this year. 2sext year wilt" be a better
year for investigating. The number of
students that the Bellefoute college has
graduated in agriculture is only known
to General Beaver, and not wishing to
trouble him at this time, the committee
will conclude that the investigation is
one of those things which ought to go
over till next year, this; not being a
good year for investigating Gen. Beav
er's Agricultural College. The boss
es are beginning to think they had bet
ter have nominated Farmer Butler for
Governor. He is freer from comprom
ising affiliations than Gen. Beaver. If
the later don't kuow more about the du
ties of Governor than he does about
farming, or the affairs of an Agricultur
tural College he would make a sorry ex
ecutive officer.
SKILL AND ZEAL REQUIRED.
Experience and tried fidelity to the
best interests of the party is at this time
especially needed. If there is to be a
successful Democratic campaigu in
Pennsylvania this year it will require
the services of our best men. One of
the great needs of the Democratic party
is a chairman of the Mate Committee
who possesses the requisite skill and
j zeal to uevdop lis lull
powers 111 the
cominjr pient conilict. It needs just
such men as George McGowan, of 1'liil-
aueij-iiiui. xuk A'euiooriiLio pai ly 01 tuis j
State lias no man to day, who possesses
to a greater degree the requisite qualifi
cations of a chairman. The head of the
state Committee should bo a live, wide
awake, untiring worker. The position
is entirely an honory one, and the selec

The zeal of George McGowan, his

5TREW THEIR GRAVES IN SILENCE.
"Memorial Day" is approaching. A
custom so touching and beautiful in it
self, as that of decorating the soldiers'
graves with garlands and wreaths of
flowers by tender and loving hands, is
one that-appeals so earnestly and strong
ly to the finer sentiments of our nature,
that it is not likely to fade away. If
there was nothing else to transmit to
generations yet unborn the simple and
still grand story of the Union and Con
federate soldiers, we might safely trust
that the spring flowers, with their sweet
fragrance, will waft it to all who may
come after us. With an Instinct tinged
with the divinity which glorified the ;
great tragedy on Calvary, the woman of
both the Xotth and South, who so brave
ly and silently bore the cross for years,
yearned to do Chistian riles of sepulture
and out of this comes the
that riDened into the custom of decorat- I
in? with floral tributes the graves of the
fallen heroes.
If poets never sang again, if oratcrs
were henceforth dumb, and the records
of the civil war were destroyed, never
more to be reproduced, the marble
shafts, silent sentinels over the memor
ies of the dead warriors, will with mute
eloquence still porray their virtues and
sacrifices to the living, The man does
not exist who in the time allotted to a
speech upon a memorial occasion can do
justice to the dead, and yet there are
many who in half the time can bring
trouble and mortification to the living.
Let the strewing of flowers be perpetua
ted, but let it'be done in silence. Let
there be a weliir.g up of emotions as pro
fuse as the wealth of blossoms which a
Cenerous spring sun brings. If tears j
must coino, iec tnem oe ;is reuneu lioui i
the passions ol the hour as the dews uis- j
tilled fiom Heaven. Let us guard this
one occasion trom the intrusion or
speech, which may profane the sad si
lence that should enwiap in its embrace
the memory of an affliction which has
become part and parcel of our lives.
In all sincerity and seriousness, I put
It to our countrymen, both North and
South, if the time has not come when it
is proper, nay even necessary, to dis
pense with the oratorical features of the
celebration of Memorial Day. There is
no danger, that your children will not
learn the history of the Northern and
Southern soldiers. Praise in eloquent
speech cannot brighten the shield of the
Union soldier, nor can defamation blur
the shield of the Confederate ; neither
can eloquent tongue, trumpets, blare, or
art illery's;roar, awaken either the Union
or Confederate dead to life and action
ajrain. j,et the wounds which mark the
places of the dead soldiers le decked by
garlands and wreaths and by tender and
loving hands at each anniversary of the
honored occasion, but let it be done in
unbroken silence. G. N. S.
General Beavkr. The Eel'efonte
Watchman, published at the home of
the Kepublican nominee for Governor,
refers in its last week's issue to that
gentlemen as follows :

There is no little confusion of ideas as to
what constitutes a Congressman-nt-Large.
Various erroneous impressions exist as to
how the office came to be created, etc. The
explanation as given by the Pittsburgh
Commercial-Gazette is very simple. After
every new decennial census there is or ought
to be a new apportionment of the Con
gressional districts in each State in which, bv
the returns of the census, losses or pains are
shown. In 17G Pennsylvania gained three
.it,ntim,9i nmn.iu.ri. of mn ,r
Legislature did not redistnet the State in '
time for the election in 1S72, and that year
the Reiublicans elected three Congrcssmen-at-Lnrge.
This year, tho State having gain-
ed one additional member, and the Governor I
having refused to convene the Legislature
in extra session for the purpose of making i
anew apportionment. we have onetmoreCon- i

Remakkable Twins. The Wilminirton
(Del. Gazette of Thursday: The death of
the twin children, Martin and Willie Tobin,
ftt 4Hl l.afinotr. ctroflt i ctill trio o.K.er of
! much comment in that neighborhood. The
residents there sympathize deeply with the
afflicted family, who, it is said, are in almost
precisely the same and always in unison.
It appeared as if oie orcantzation con
trolled both. When Willie laughed Martin
would laugh, and when Martin cried Willie
would weep. Their general condition cor
respond exactly, and when one was dull and
unwell the other would not be hricht or
happy. This similarity extended even to
eating and drinking, and natiiie seemed to
pi ogress in the same proportion in each. As
one developed in size so the other increased,
and when they beo-an teethingsome time ago,
the proeess continued the same in each case.
The little ones had a hard struggle witli the
cutting process and both were taken with
convulsions at the same time. They recov
ered, however, in a great measure, and were
apparently getting along finely.
They were naturally bright and intelligent
youngsters, and not only the pride of the
parents but to eertain extent were patronized
ny amne neighbors, (.in 1 uesday, as will be
remembered, the weather was "warm and
summer-like, and the babes were taken out
for a'ring. appearing in excellent condition.
That evening as the twins lay in t lie cradle i
they laughed and kicked and enjoyed them- !
selves as only babies know l ow." At 10.30 i
the mother put them in her bed, laid beside
tnem and went tosleep. In the morning her
husband who s'ent in another bed with tbeir
othoF two "ov called his wife to get up. ad
r.ionishing her not to wake the little ones. (
They all went, to the first floor, and about 7
o'clock Mrs. Tobin returned to the bed room
after breakfast, and unon turning down the
nen clonics round ner charges dead, wit.l
riorn upon ner nps. a pcream of "U, my
God ."' brought the father to the sad scpne.
Both Martin and Willie were lying on their
sides and presented the faniP appearance.
The mother had not detected anything
wrong during the night, and the corotier de
cided that death was caused from convul
sions superinduced by the hot weather.

The hov is a slender youth, about 10 years

appears more refined and of different blood

threatened him with instant death If he at-
I tempted to reveal the story of the kidnapping

1 The bov also told Mrs Decarmus, who had
gamed his confidence as a neighbor, that the
reason or his reputed father moving from

Prayers for the Dead. New Kngland
Coiigregationalism believes in prayer for the
dead. The New York Sun says of one of
the ministers : Mr. Merriman did not avow
his belief in the ultimate salvation of meru
it is obvious that he Is a Universalist. In
the state to which they will go after death.
1 according to him, men will be tried, purged,
fitted for heaven, made ready to appear be
fore the judgment seat of (iod.

Mr. Merriman could not honestly and logi
cally escape from the conclusion. If proba
tion eoTdinues after death, prayers for the
dead are just as important, just as efficacious,
a.- prayers for men while uuder tho earthly
probation. .
And yet this Congregational minister, who
explained away the old orthodox ideas of the
atonement, who did not believe in everlast
ing punishment, who accepted probation af
ter death, and who did not shrink from ap
proval of prayers for the dead, was pro-
1 i nounced sound in doctrine by the Somervilia
' 1 Council and whs installed as past orof a Con
gregational church! He was formally ac
cepted and approved as a spiritual and "doc-
' .mi,Y f Vii . i Mf Tt r 'V
trlnal guide for the descendants of the Puil-
tans, to whom his teachings would have been
hateful beyond measure. Assuredly New
Kngland Congregationalism is passing thro
very radical changes.
